Disciplinary Action


Guest Joseph

Recommended Posts

Is it proper procedure for the Board of Directors to censure a contract employee for walking out of a job which we have paid him for? He is under contract to provide musical direction to our choir and walked out of a rehearsal in order to make a point. We are not planning to pay him for this session but what other disciplinary action can we take. Our bylaws make no mention of action of this nature.

Thank you

A motion to censure someone simply expresses the board's disapproval. The board can censure whoever it wants for whatever reason it wants.

RONR primarily deals with disciplinary action for officers and members, not employees. From a parliamentary perspective, I think the board can take whatever action it deems appropriate, provided the individual is an employee of the board and the actions do not conflict with the organization's rules or an action of the general membership. But really, if the board is pondering its options for discipline of an employee with a contract, I think you need a lawyer, not a parliamentarian.
